Definition

Dynamic spatiotemporal segregation refers to the process by which certain groups or individuals are spatially and temporally separated from one another in a fluid and changing manner. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including social, economic, political, or environmental factors.

For example, in a city, different neighborhoods may experience periods of segregation based on income levels, with wealthier residents clustering in certain areas while lower-income individuals are pushed to others. This segregation can change over time as gentrification occurs or as economic conditions shift.

Dynamic spatiotemporal segregation can also occur in natural environments, such as when certain species of animals are forced to move to different areas due to changes in climate or habitat availability.

Overall, dynamic spatiotemporal segregation is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that reflects the constantly shifting dynamics of social and environmental systems.
